The CASA Collective is a society of caring friends who have come together and made a commitment to provide ongoing support for kids in the child welfare system throughout the year. We invite you to join them by setting up a recurring gift & help CASA increase its capacity to provide sustained advocacy for foster kids throughout the duration of their time in the child welfare system. For more details, see the CASA Collective page.

Every single gift, large or small, supports our mission of empowering children who have experienced abuse and neglect with a volunteer's voice both inside and outside the court. Funds allow CASA to recruit, train and supervise volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates and reach more vulnerable children. Your support can help us sustain our current levels of child advocacy and, ideally, reach more children on our waiting list who still need a CASA volunteer. You may donate online, by mail, or by phone: 785-832-5172

Honor someone special at any time of the year. Make a gift in their honor to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or any other occasion. It's a great way to show that you care about them and let them know how inspiring they are. A memorial donation is a wonderful way to honor, remember, and pay tribute to a loved one who has passed. CASA can notify the person you wish to honor or the family of the person you wish to memorialize of your kindness. You may donate online, by mail, or by phone: 785-832-5172.

CASA relies on the generosity of local, regional, and national businesses for direct donations, in-kind gifts, volunteer assistance and sponsorships. Consider sponsoring a CASA event at a level that fits your personal or corporate budget and reach CASA's broad community of supporters. For more information, please contact Erick Vaughn, Executive Director at 785-832-5172, or email evaughn@dccasaks.org.

Participating in a matching gifts program makes your donation go farther. Many companies encourage employees to donate to their favorite charities by matching their contributions. Your company may even make a monetary donation in recognition of volunteer service. Some companies may also match the gifts of retirees, spouses, surviving spouses, and outside directors. Talk to your human resources department to find out if a program is available to supplement your gift to CASA.

Bequests and other planned gifts help ensure that Douglas County CASA will continue to help future generations of children who experience abuse and neglect. Planned gifts can take the form of life insurance, equity, or real estate holdings (among others) and can enable donors to contribute gifts that they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to make. Contact us for more information.

Make a gift that will last a lifetime. A donation to the CASA Endowment Fund helps support the future of child advocacy in our community. Contact us for more information or go to our Endowment webpage managed by the Douglas County Community Foundation to make a donation.

CASA maintains special funds that are earmarked to provide specific items and services to the children on our caseload as well as other at-risk youth in Douglas County.
